Whoops.

The real key to driver safety? Avoiding accidents altogether. That's why a MINI's world-famous handling and numerous Active Safety features help you steer clear of hazards. And in the rare chance an accident is unavoidable? Your MINI's predictive brakes, protective frame, airbag system and more are already prepared.

An extremely strong frame reduces body torque and lets the suspension do what it does best - provide super-tight handling. A flex-free frame also reduces squeaks, rattles, vibrations and cabin noise.

SMART AIRBAGS

Up to 8 front, side-impact, ceiling-mounted, side-curtain and knee airbags monitor collision severity to adjust inflation rates and help protect you and your passengers with as much force as needed. In extreme cases, they’ll stay inflated longer to keep you safe from shattered glass.

SAFETY FEATURES

ACTIVE BRAKES

Brakes that will automatically ready themselves for an emergency stop when your foot suddenly leaves the gas, dry themselves in wet weather when your wipers are on, and actively work to reduce erratic driving.

DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL

This system can make anyone a better Motorer by automatically applying selective brake pressure or engine power to help your MINI stay in control.

CRASH SENSOR SYSTEM

In the event of an accident, your MINI is quick to play super hero – automatically unlocking the doors, turning on interior and hazard lights, and cutting the fuel pump if the airbags have been deployed.

BREAKAWAY ENGINE

In the event of a head-on collision, the engine and gearbox are designed to absorb the impact and break away from their mounts, diverting them from the cockpit in a final act of selfless bravery.

ROLLOVER PROTECTION BAR

Should your safety systems detect a rollover, this frame-mounted safety bar automatically deploys within milliseconds to help keep the car's occupants protected.

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

Even cold-blooded thieves are somewhat reticent to steal a possession so personal as a MINI. But, just in case, this sophisticated system makes the starter useless without the key.

Dynamic Stability Control

The Dynamic Stability Control system uses sensors to measure the steering angle, yaw and lateral acceleration to determine the direction you want to go. Then, if your MINI starts to stray, the DSC system kicks in by applying corrective brake pressure to individual wheels and adjusting engine torque.

Cornering Brake Control

If a driver of a MINI brakes while cornering at speed or changing lanes, Cornering Brake Control (CBC) will help improve the vehicle's stability. By optimizing the braking effects being applied to each wheel and evening out the braking pressure from side-to-side, this system helps Motorers maintain control at critical times on the road.

Adaptive Cruise Control

With precise engine and braking control, our Adaptive Cruise Control helps your MINI maintain a consistent speed, adjusting to account for curves and hills. Adaptive Cruise Control will even use video to monitor and automatically adjust speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Of course, if you want to make any adjustments, just use your steering wheel controls to speed up or slow down.
